Try telling this to some of the idiots on this the board. Spent quite a bit of time arguing this point over the last 2 combines. They want to see your drop, accuracy, arm strength, touch and mechanics. Period. They know the QB has no control over how well the WR does or does not run his route. If the ball ends up where the receiver should be, and the receiver isn't there to catch it, the receiver looks bad, not the QB.

We've built up Geno so much that the uninformed fans and haters are expecting a Herculean effort tomorrow.

I don't really have any expectations. I think he'll be fine but anything can happen.

But if he throws a couple of bad throws, we're gonna hear about it every day for the next 2 months. Guaranteed.

Remind them that Cam Newton went 11 of 21, missing receivers by a country mile on many of his misses, but his stock still rocketed up afterwards because he was so impressive when sitting down with the coaches and GMs.

Well of course. I'm referring to MY involvement in the argument though. Never much cared, then got sick of not taking a QB and fans being ok with it b/c this or that prospect didn't complete this or that pass at the combine.

I watched every one of those drills (because I wanted to see how Stanzi stacked up, he actually did pretty well).

Cam Newton was IMPRESSIVE. 11 of 21 or not, his throws were on the money with zip all day.

I could have sworn you were in on some of the early discussions. Who knows, it's been over 10 years and I'm lucky if I can remember shit from 10 days ago.
